2009 Peugeot 308 1.6L Diesel · FN09 ODW

The 2009 Peugeot 308 passed its most recent MOT on 17 February 2024 at 126,764 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the only blemish being a failure one week earlier on 10 February 2024 at 126,741 miles that listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a worsening mechanical condition. Recorded mileage stands at 126,764 against an age of roughly 17 years, averaging about 7,457 miles per year which is typical for the vehicle class. The history shows 113,060 miles on 26 October 2021, rising to 116,566 by 18 October 2022, then jumping to 126,741 by February 2024. That final 10,000-mile spell in under 16 months is a mild acceleration but not abnormal. A clean record with no advisories across all four tests implies the previous owner kept basic upkeep current, though the sparse entries leave suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear unverified between 2022 and 2024. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's age and the absence of any advisory data on those points. The tester never flagged binding calipers, exhaust emissions, or tyre condition, yet 17-year-old French hatchbacks commonly develop perished rubber components and tired dampers that a no-defect MOT will not capture if within limits on the day. Given the February 2024 failure carried zero recorded defects, confirm with the seller what triggered it before purchase, as DVSA systems occasionally omit minor items. Otherwise the documented history supports a mechanically honest example, provided a pre-purchase check covers consumables and chassis rust not visible in the MOT trail.
